Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. SanDisk co-founder and now Micron Technology CEO Sanjay Mehrotra once pointed to a defining childhood moment in which his father's persistence after repeated visa denials helped change the course of his life. Three Visa Rejections Before A Turning Point In a 2019 interview, Mehrotra recalled applying for a U.S. student visa multiple times in 1976 after receiving admission offers from American universities, including the University of California, Berkeley. Each time, his application was rejected, despite strong academic credentials from BITS Pilani in India. Don't Miss: A Father Who Refused to Accept ‘No' After the third rejection, Mehrotra's father took an unorthodox approach. He waited at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and confronted the U.S. consul directly when he emerged from a lunch break. "My dad said let's just wait here… and that's exactly what had happened," Mehrotra recalled. Once inside the consul's office, his father passionately argued for his son's case, questioning how such an opportunity could be denied. "For the next 20 minutes, my dad really went at the U.S. council," Mehrotra said, describing him as "my detective… my trial lawyer… my manager and of course my parent." Mehrotra said his father has always been the kind of person who doesn't take "no for an answer." A Performance Of A Lifetime The consul eventually agreed to issue the visa. Mehrotra described the moment as unforgettable. "It was a performance of a lifetime that I'd watched." He added that his father's determination left a lasting impression on him. Trending: Avoid the #1 Investing Mistake: How Your ‘Safe' Holdings Could Be Costing You Big Time Reflecting on the experience, Mehrotra said it taught him that "if you seek success, start with tenacity."

(RTTNews) - The Australian market is extending its early sharp gains in mid-market moves on Thursday, reversing the losses in the previous session, following the broadly positive cues from Wall Street overnight. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 is moving well above the 8,600 level, with gains in mining, financial and technology stocks partially offset by weakness in energy stocks. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index is gaining 142.50 points or 1.68 percent to 8,639.10, after touching a high of 8,649.70 earlier. The broader All Ordinaries Index is up 142.60 points or 1.64 percent to 8,859.60. Australian stocks ended sharply lower on Wednesday. Among major miners, Rio Tinto is gaining more than 2 percent and Fortescue is edging up 0.5 percent, while BHP Group and Mineral Resources are advancing almost 3 percent each. Oil stocks are mostly lower. Beach energy is declining almost 3 percent, Woodside Energy is losing almost 2 percent, Santos is down almost 1 percent and Origin Energy is edging down 0.2 percent. In the tech space, Afterpay owner Block is gaining more than 2 percent, WiseTech Global is edging up 0.1 percent and Zip is advancing more than 4 percent, while Xero is losing more than 1 percent and Appen is down almost 1 percent. Among the big four banks, Commonwealth Bank is gaining almost 2 percent, while Westpac, ANZ Banking and National Australia Bank is advancing more than 2 percent each. Among gold miners, Evolution Mining is advancing almost 4 percent, Newmont is gaining more than 2 percent, Genesis Minerals is adding almost 2 percent and Resolute Mining is rising more than 3 percent, while Northern Star Resources is losing almost 1 percent. In economic news, the manufacturing sector in Australia continued to expand in May, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Thursday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.2. That's down from 51.3 in April, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contractio...

The Pentagon's Next Critical Minerals Source Is Already In Its Own Warehouses Authored by Matt Bedingfield via RealClearDefenseolitics , Last week, U.S. Navy destroyers began escorting commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz under Project Freedom, the most aggressive American action in the strait since Iran shut it down in March. The naval blockade of Iranian ports is now in its fifth week. U.S. warships are running mine-clearance operations, intercepting Iranian-flagged cargo, and absorbing drone threats daily. And the permanent magnets in those destroyers' guidance systems are still refined in China. So are the rare earths in their radar arrays and the cobalt in their battery backups. The war just proved what the 2027 DFARS deadline already assumed: we cannot fight a conflict while depending on an adversary for the materials inside our own weapons. And the Pentagon's largest untapped source of those materials is already sitting in its own warehouses. The Pentagon has a multi-year backlog of classified electronics it can't destroy fast enough. It also has a critical minerals shortage it can't solve fast enough. The copper, gold, palladium, silver, and tin locked inside those warehoused devices are exactly the metals it's spending billions to source elsewhere. That elsewhere, increasingly, can't be China. Beginning January 1, 2027, the Pentagon can no longer enter contracts for materials mined, refined, or separated in China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. The Numbers Don’t Work The United States generates roughly eight million metric tons of e-waste every year, and the number is climbing. AI infrastructure is accelerating the cycle. Data centers replace server hardware every three to five years. Each generation of defense electronics contains more critical minerals than the last. Only about 15 percent of U.S. e-waste gets recycled. And that figure hides a deeper problem. The printed circuit boards inside those devices, the components richest in strategic metal...
